Conservative Party of Bavaria

The Conservative Party was a conservative political party in Bavaria that was active from 1836 to 1933. The Conservative Party was historically the strongest party in Bavarian history, as the majority of Bavarians were traditionalist Catholics who placed a high emphasis on Catholic social teachings and on Bavarian cultural traditions. The party supported the Bavarian monarchy and the maintenance of the political status quo, advocating for a strong central government that was able to intervene in both the economy and in cultural affairs. The party dissolved in 1933 following the Nazi Party's rise to power.
